GIFT FOR LIFE FOUNDATION MAINTAINED ITS PROMISES TO 25 CHILDREN’S HOMES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY
Members stood motionless looking at the torrential rain on Christmas Day 2012 and decided whether or not to postpone the annual Christmas Day Motorcade. But thoughts of our country’s children living at Children’s Homes motivated Santa Claus and GFLF members to make the sacrifice to withstand the bad weather and begin the motorcade to the Homes.
Members of Gift For Life Foundation (GFLF) were determined to maintain their promises to children across the country. From 8.30am straight until 9.00pm members were busy with Santa Claus, Elves, hampers, cakes and wrapped gifts to children from various Children’s Homes namely:

As members ignored the rainfall and joined the motorcade their eyes fell on the bags of gaily wrapped gifts and smiled as they thought of each child that the gifts were for. In their minds they could see the joy and excitement on the faces of the children as they tore open the gifts and saw what was in them.
